This amount of enthusiasm and energy women showed at work changed male attitude towards them and many realised these women were perfectly capable of being able to vote. The historian John Ray believes that WWI helped the decision to grant women the vote as “Women proved by their work that they deserved the vote equally with men.” And that “their war efforts succeeded where the suffragette campaign had failed”. However some believe that the great war in fact slowed the process of getting votes for women as before the breakout of war it looked like women were going to be granted the vote when Henry Asquith agreed to allow all suffragettes in prison to be released and arranged a meeting between the
Women in the Work Place Introduction For many years, women’s participation in the workplace was very limited. Overtime women have transpired to become great leaders in America.

In comparison to the soles served in a deep dish, Woolf was served a soup: more specifically “a plain gravy soup”. Is this the same person writing? Along with the soup, there were “…sprouts curled and yellowed at the edge”.

Frankie Sutton Quinn CP US History II 20 October 2012 A Battle for Woman's Suffrage In the United States today, according to a 2010 census, more than half of the country consists of females. If woman still did not have suffrage rights, then more than half of the United States' voices would not be heard during elections.
